Almanacs, post office and trade directories are useful for tracing the addresses and movements of ancestors. A listing in the directory can help to confirm a person’s whereabouts at a certain time, just as a sudden disappearance from the directory can provide a clue about the date of a person’s death. You can find information in Trade and professional directories about occupations, and some post office directories also include categories such as ecclesiastical, educational and pastoral directories Contains information Comprising a General Survey of the County; Histories, Statistical and Topographical descriptions of all the Hundreds, Liberties, Unions, Boroughs, Towns, Ports, Parishes, Townships, Villages and Hamlets; Showing their extent and population; their agriculture, manufactures, markets, fairs, trade and commerce; their Charities and Public Institutions; their Churches and Chapels; the Annual Value, and Patrons and Incumbents of the Benefices; the Lords of the Manors and Owners of the Soil and Tithes; the Unions and County Court Districts; the Addresses of the Inhabitants; the Railway Trains, Steam Packets, Coaches and Carriers; the Seats of Nobility and Gentry, Magistrates and Public Officers; and a variety of other Agricultural, Statistical and Biographical information.
